"Kingdom of Rats," Part 3. In an effort to thwart the Rat King, the TMNT travel to distant Siberia to try and enlist the help of his brother, Manmoth. The Turtles soon find that his welcome is less than warm in their new surroundings!

This is it! The entire TMNT Volume 3, reproduced for the first time ever in full four-color glory! Join creators Gary Carlson and Frank Fosco as they take the Heroes in a Half-Shell on some of their most amazing and dangerous and bizarre adventures ever... In this issue, the TMNT find their family in disarray as Master Splinter is being held hostage, Donatello is missing, Raphael is badly wounded... and to top it all off, they've lost their home!

After being out of print for years, a grindhouse-style classic returns-better than ever. Inspired by the magazine Heavy Metal and the films of John Woo, creators Kevin Eastman and Simon Bisley present a much darker take on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, spinning a pulse-pounding yarn of over-the-top action and more than a bit of the old ultraviolence. In gritty 1990s New York, our boys Raphael and Casey are swept up into an international murder/revenge/assassination plot, complete with gangsters, thugs, cops, cyborgs, machine guns, and (of course) hockey sticks. Don't miss what might just be the longest-running gunfight in comic book history! Collects Bodycount issues #1-4 with all-new colors by Kevin Eastman.

Bullet points:

• "Pure, unfiltered and unhindered Kevin Eastman." — TMNT Entity
• Two legendary talents team up for a jaw-dropping action-romp starring two of the baddest dudes in the TMNT universe: Raphael and Casey Jones. It's a must for adult Ninja Turtles collectors and anyone nostalgic for the grim 'n' gritty days of '90s comics.
• Suggested for mature readers.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Volume 19: Invasion of the Triceratons

Spoiler:

Tom Waltz (W), Kevin Eastman (W), Damian Couceiro (A/C)

Abducted from their planet millennia ago, the Triceratons are at last free to return home. They come in peace, but how will the world react to a Triceraton "invasion" in the heart of New York City? About how you would expect, especially when the Earth Protection Force gets involved. As the three-pronged attack begins in earnest, it's up to the Turtles to stop the conflict before it escalates into all-out war! Collects issues #76-80.

Bullet points:

• Advance solicited for July release!
• "One of the best ongoing comics on the shelves right now." —Word of the Nerd

So "Kingdom of Rats" might be a low-key world tour-type arc? Neat! All that's missing now in terms of "obligatory" storylines to cover before #100 is a return to the Battle Nexus and a proper tournament, really...

Glad to see Manmoth in the spotlight, the whole Patheon story and traveling around the world reminds me a lot of the Archie series around the world arcs, where they would constantly travel to new places and meet different cultures and usually some weird mutant creature. I guess Gothano will be the one Patheon member kept in mystery or until the tail-end of the arc.

In Universe I kinda wish they'd wrap up the Null subplot. It doesn't seem like they have any grand plans for her.

And man, between the Image series and Bodycount coming out at the same time, the "extreme 90's" of 1996-1997 are back.
